lazing around in bangalore

So you are finally bored..bored of mall hopping; eating out and grocery shopping in bangalore. Most bangaloreans end up with the same wistful question every friday evening     " what should we do for the weekend?" the lucky ones will have invites to some quiet dinner at a friend's place. the super lucky ones will have those blink and miss passes to the hottest concert on Palace Grounds . But plain unlucky souls like us will be left at the mercy of the unpredictable climate. If it rains, no point in going to commercial street. finding parking at Brigade Road is worse than finding a needle in a haystack. Drive to mysore...sounds good...but you have been there done that..to the extent that you can still taste the vada and onion dosa at Kamat lokaruchi.
try these "other" options...at your own risk ofcourse...in random order:

1. WONDER LA: if cash and time is sufficient, wonderla theme park at Kengeri can be a good option. Try to reach by 11 am(that means you have to start your sunday early). Tickets are priced at around 500/- per person, but this includes unlimited rides for both the dry and water rides.hygiene levels are almost OK...rides are decent and food is NOT overpriced which is quite surprising going by Bangalore standards.
2. INNOVATIVE FILM CITY: another theme park; kids will love the place while adults might find it a bit juvenile.
3. LALBAGH: bet you've driven by the giant garden a million times, yet believe me as any Bangalorean will support wholeheartedly, its a quaint little paradise inside. More so because unlike the malls and their price foodcourts, a day out here will not cost you a bomb. the rocky outcrop, sprawling greens and the placid lake inside can be a good change from the hustle bustle of the city.Pack a small lunch, your badminton raquets and some munchies to relive the school picnic once again.
4. BANGALORE PALACE: warning first: please visit only if you want to spend Rs. 375/- per head listening to the oh so boring history of the oh so gaudy palace. A flagrant copy of the Windsor castle, the palace has been restored and is open to visitors who get an audio tour of the place. nothing much compared to the Grand mysore palace, it scores due to its sylvan surroundings. the open greens all around form a perfect setting for the Grey building. The erotic paintings inside can be a delight for the bachelors and a pricey embarrasment for the family!
5. HESARGHATTA LAKE: no its not a lake
